Drum loops for guitarists
— tighter riffs, real feel.
Riffs practiced against a click sound like riffs practiced against a click. Loop real drum grooves instead — any style, any tempo, sped up or slowed down at will — and make your rhythm playing sit like it does with a band.
A drummer on demand
Loop any groove
Pick a beat and let it run. Straight rock, half-time, shuffle, funk, hip-hop — every groove loops seamlessly for as long as the riff needs.
Any tempo, changed at will
Dial an exact BPM, nudge it mid-loop, or let progressive tempo ramp it automatically — woodshed the riff at 70, perform it at 160.
See what drummers are playing
Browse grooves real drummers create and post in the DrumShed community. Filter by genre and difficulty, hear anything instantly, and keep the ones that fit your songs.
AI builds the loop you describe
Ask for 'a driving 16th-note rock beat at 140' or 'a swung blues shuffle' — the AI beat maker turns it into a playable loop you can tweak bar by bar.
Odd meters that never drift
Writing in 5/4 or 7/8? Loop a groove that keeps the count for you while you internalize the phrase.
Edit it like a songwriter
Open any groove in the pattern editor: move the snare, add a crash on the turnaround, drop to half-time for the bridge. Build the drum part your song actually wants.
Practice that transfers to the band room
Strumming against hats and snare — not a beep — teaches you where your part sits between the backbeat and the kick.
Grooves carry swing and pocket — laid-back, pushed, shuffled — so you practice the feel of a song, not a straightened-out version of it.
Sketch a drum part for the demo while you write the riff — then hand your drummer a groove instead of a hum.
